    28.6 a huge appeal for lbw and the umpire raises the finger though I thought Warner had got a big inside edge on to his pad. Warner is dismayed as he sees the finger go up and he can't review it because Clarke had used up the only review available. And he had got a massive inside edge as he played from his crease at a good length ball that pitched around leg and middle 125/5
    1.5 caught behind! Kulasekara gets the ball to swing late from a good length from leg and middle stump line, Hughes is caught on the crease and squared up as he prods in defence, the outside edge is taken by Chandimal moving to his left 4/1
    9.6 Clarke's been given lbw and he's asked for a review too. Kulasekara hit the pad with a big inswinger, it moved sharply into Clarke off the seam. Clarke was pushing forward and was hit in line too. Replays indicate the ball would have clipped the top of middle. He's got to go. 50/2
    12.1 Thirimanne's caught it after a juggle at first slip! Malinga bowled a beautiful outswinger, pitching around off and moving away. Hussey, having been peppered by the short stuff, stayed back and prodded away from his body, nicking it to Thirimanne's left. He caught it, lost grip but grabbed it again before falling to the ground. 53/3
    21.3 what has Bailey done! He came down the pitch and tried to hit over the top, instead he mis-hit it straight to Thisara Perera at mid-on, he's thrown away a start, and after he battled hard early on. Bailey was beaten in the flight 93/4
    42.3 caught at third man! Wade's gone. The ball was short of a length outside off, Wade got under it and cut hard off the front foot, slashing it straight to Kulasekara as he ran in from the third man boundary, Australia lose their eighth 166/8
    31.4 another lbw, and the umpires have missed another inside edge! Herath bowled the one that goes on with the arm to Henriques, who prodded forward to defend. The ball went on to the pad off the inside edge, and like Warner, Henriques has to go too 130/6
    38.1 Johnson isn't standing outside his crease, and he's fallen lbw, that is plumb. Malinga delivers a full ball that slants across Johnson from over the wicket before it tails late into the left-hander. Johnson is caught prodding from his crease, the ball beats the inside edge and crashes into the pad. No doubt there. 145/7
